Giant of the times

"The TCP/IP protocol has now become a network standard, and it is not impossible to use this communication protocol to build a new Internet backbone network. In the previous life, in 1986, the National Science Foundation (NSF) used the TCP/IP protocol to establish NSFnet, and finally Completely replace ARPAnet and become the backbone network of the Internet! But... I don’t know if the US government will allow companies to conduct commercial operations now?" Li Zetian murmured.

He thought for a while and decided to mention it to President Reagan. If he and the U.S. Congress agreed, that would be great. If he didn't agree, that would be fine. It would be better if it could attract the attention of the U.S. government and let the National Science Foundation establish NSFnet as soon as possible. , at least it can promote the development of the Internet.

Thinking of this, Li Zetian picked up the phone and dialed the White House phone number.

After five or six seconds, the call was connected.

"Hello, President Reagan, my name is Chronos Li."

"Haha, Chronos, why did you suddenly think of calling me? Do you have something to do with me?" President Reagan said with a smile.

"Yes."

"Oh, what's the matter?" President Reagan asked seriously. As the richest man in the world, Li Zetian, since he called in person, must be very important.

Li Zetian asked: "President Reagan, do you know much about ARPANET?"

"Haha, you know, I am an actor, not a computer technician, so I only know a little about ARPANET. The military, schools, research institutions and enterprises can communicate through this network!"

"Yes. Have you ever thought about building a larger network and letting more people join this network?"

President Reagan was stunned for a moment and said: "As far as I know, the investment and establishment of ARPANET is very expensive, so only a very few people can use it now."

"Then I'm willing to build this network, do you think it's okay?" Li Zetian said tentatively.

President Reagan was deep in thought at this time and did not immediately reply to Li Zetian's request. After a while, he said: "Chronos, I will give you an answer after this matter is discussed in Congress!"

"OK!"

Just when Li Zetian ended the call with President Reagan, China finally joined the ARPANET in 1983, communicating with foreign computers and networks for the first time, and thus began the construction of the Internet!

…

Li Zetian waited for a while, and President Reagan finally replied to him, rejecting his request, implying that the Internet was related to information security, and the U.S. Congress did not agree to let him, a Chinese, do it.

Li Zetian immediately cursed in his heart.

Fuck you insensitive U.S. Congress, are you engaging in racial discrimination?

At the beginning, Li Zetian's company was still small and could not feel the pressure from all aspects of the United States. However, when it developed to a certain extent, various pressures came one after another. The most obvious one is that the U.S. government suppressed Li Zetian in order to support other companies. enterprises, and many government projects have been handed over to these companies. Li Zetian's company was assigned very few projects.

Li Zetian then asked if the U.S. Congress has any plans to build a network.

President Reagan said that laying out the network would cost too much and that Congress had not yet made a complete decision. First let NSF, the National Science Foundation of the United States, make a detailed investigation report, and then conduct further discussions.

After ending the call, Li Zetian said to himself: "From this perspective, the construction speed of the NSFnet network should be advanced."

Li Zetian stretched out and sighed: "The era without the Internet felt so boring! Let's build it early and speed up the development of human science and technology!"

At this time, Li Zetian thought about China. The United States is developing so fast, how can China keep up?

"Well, I still have to go to China to invest more! Investing in the real estate business is justifiable, developing ordinary residences, apartments, villas, commercial real estate, high-end hotels, cultural tourism, supermarkets and chain department stores. Well, first set a small goal and make a ' Wanda' come out. Money is not everything, money belongs to Wanda..." Li Zetian smiled.

Of course, the real estate company established by Li Zetian will definitely not be called Wanda Group, that would be too tacky, and there is already Dalian Wanda Real Estate Company in mainland China. "Chinese Real Estate" is a nice name. However, the company is a Hong Kong company. If Liu Luanxiong had not gone bankrupt in this life, the company would have been acquired by him and become an important real estate company in Hong Kong. It is so easy to pick up girls and give them houses. .

Li Zetian is actually paying attention to this Chinese real estate company. It was established in 1922. It is an old company and is still very strong.

At present, China and Britain are negotiating, and the two sides have not yet reached an agreement. The future of Hong Kong is unresolved, people are panicked, and the stock market has plummeted.

Li Zetian has connections with China's upper echelons, and the Chinese side very much hopes to get the support of Li Chengzhi and Li Zetian in Hong Kong, so Li Zetian knows much more about the progress of Sino-British negotiations than ordinary people.

It's only July now, and it will probably take until next year for the Sino-British negotiations to come to fruition. Therefore, the Hong Kong stock market will continue to fall.

At the end of the year, Li Zetian will come to Hong Kong to search.

Chinese real estate will be one of his goals, and he will then use it as a springboard to enter the mainland.

In fact, there are quite a few people who have the same plan as Li Zetian, and Li Jiacheng is one of them. Li Zetian had read Li Jiacheng's biography and vaguely remembered that in the mid-1980s, "Cheung Kong Holdings" purchased the controlling stake of the Hong Kong Electric Lighting Group. "Hong Kong Electric" is one of the 40 constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong. The company is powerful and is one of the two major power suppliers in Hong Kong (the other is China Electric Power).

Now it seems that Li Jiacheng bought the controlling stake of Hong Kong Electric Group this year!

However, Hong Kong Electric Light will be Li Zetian's bag.

…

Li Zetian hummed happily. The Umbrella Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has been roughly completed. Umbrella Artificial Intelligence Research Centers have been established in the United States, Hong Kong, and London. In terms of artificial intelligence, we will never lag behind others.

Now he has come to Galaxy Network Company. The router has been developed a long time ago, and it has been given such a ridiculous name as "Galaxy Router". People who don't know it think that this router can also connect the entire Galaxy network together. Hoho…

At this time, Tian Shuai and Zhang Hao learned that Li Zetian was coming and hurried out of the office to greet him.

Upon meeting, Zhang Hao said excitedly: "Mr. Li, you are here!"

"Yeah." Li Zetian smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Li!" Tian Shuai came over and greeted with a smile.

Li Zetian also nodded to him.

"The Galaxy router has been developed, so I came over to take a look. This thing will be the flagship product of Galaxy Network Company in the future!"

"Mr. Li, please come with me to see this powerful router. With it, all the networks in the university can be connected together!" Zhang Hao said, walking to the front to lead the way.

Li Zetian and Tian Shuai smiled at each other and followed him.

After a while, we arrived at the laboratory.

Zhang Hao took out a "Galaxy Router", a rectangular white box with a simple appearance.

Next, Zhang Hao gave Li Zetian a demonstration. He used the "Galaxy Router" to connect multiple computers in the company into a network so that they could exchange messages, and then connected two different networks into one network.

It has powerful functions and very good stability.

Tian Shuai introduced at the side: "Mr. Li, the Galaxy Router has entered the mass production stage. A press conference will be held on July 30 to bring our potential users, such as Fortune 500 companies, schools, research institutions, and even the military. Please come, it will be officially released on August 1st!”

"Well, this arrangement is very good." Li Zetian paused and said, "So far, the company's main products are only network cards and routers, and the products are too monotonous. Galaxy Network Company is defined as a network equipment company, and all network equipment products, Galaxy Network companies can produce everything, including hubs, repeaters, bridges, switches, routers, network cards, modems, fiber optic transceivers, fiber optic cables, etc.

Once the Galaxy Router comes out, it will surely be very popular. After going public and raising funds, the company will be able to develop rapidly. "

Since Galaxy Networks involves issues such as information security, it is best to go public.

"Galaxy Networks is going to be listed?!" As soon as Zhang Hao heard this, he walked over quickly, his eyes widened, and he said excitedly, "Haha, doesn't it mean that I also want to go to Nasdaq to ring the bell!!! "
